Internal drivers
================
- `Hypervisor drivers`_
- `Storage drivers <storage.html>`__
- `Node device driver <drvnodedev.html>`__
- `Secret driver <drvsecret.html>`__
- `Network driver <drvnetwork.html>`__
The libvirt public API delegates its implementation to one or more internal
drivers, depending on the `connection URI <uri.html>`__ passed when initializing
the library. There is always a hypervisor driver active, and if the libvirt
daemon is available there will usually be a network and storage driver active.
Hypervisor drivers
------------------
The hypervisor drivers currently supported by libvirt are:
- `LXC <drvlxc.html>`__ - Linux Containers
- `OpenVZ <drvopenvz.html>`__
- `QEMU/KVM/HVF <drvqemu.html>`__
- `Test <drvtest.html>`__ - Used for testing
- `VirtualBox <drvvbox.html>`__
- `VMware ESX <drvesx.html>`__
- `VMware Workstation/Player <drvvmware.html>`__
- `Xen <drvxen.html>`__
- `Microsoft Hyper-V <drvhyperv.html>`__
- `Virtuozzo <drvvirtuozzo.html>`__
- `Bhyve <drvbhyve.html>`__ - The BSD Hypervisor
- `Cloud Hypervisor <drvch.html>`__
